Turkey camp 2026 was a great one! 6 guys, 12 dead birds. 8 of em were doubles! Good times with great people in one of my favorite places..

The double with the sun behind is a great shot. mtmuley

First Merriam's + first WA turkey for me

Went out for a mid day hunt that coincided with the few hours of sunlight. Somehow found myself on a steep hill in the middle of 3 or 4 birds gobbling their heads off. One snuck up within 20 yards of me but I never got a shot due to the terrain. I then circled around to be on the same elevation as the uphill bird, he took a few steps towards me, gave me a shot and that’s all she wrote.

Getting my a$$ kicked in Idaho panhandle and bitterroot area of MT. In gobblers daily but can’t get to come onto public (or to legal public). Same story different year. I’ll kill a mountain gobbler someday.

Also, all of my bear bait roads are closed or covered by downed trees so can’t say it has been a successful trip this far. But I have been in the mountains so success is relative. Head home Tuesday and I’m ready for KY springtime.

3 months out of Achilles tendon surgery after a full rupture. Feels good to be back on 2 feet. The box call I home-made with my uncle 19 years ago. He lost a tough battle with cancer last April. We spent a lot of time together in the woods.
